Been there, done that, it will be insensitive of me to unreasonably criticise a young person for being overexcited about issues, because relatively, he or she hasn't undergone the effects of the times I did.
But for an older person to find fault with with another older person's state of being calm, tactful and composed, especially when the moment calls careful reflection, that's straight up BS - first-degree 'nyoradi' (unripeness), really.
Lemme rephrase the "Irish Blessing" and pray that as we grow, we'll be afforded the hindsight to know where we have been, the foresight to know where we are going, and the insight to know when we have gone too far. Amen!
